Surprisingly enough, this can even happen in academic environments that should know better. Though far from the level of difficulty presented by jacquesm, the same thing happened to me with an end-of-term project a few years back. We had to

The article dates back from yesterday, 1pm GMT. More evidence that there should be no conclusion drawn (one way or another for that matter) on nuclear energy safety or lack thereof before this whole catastrophe has fully unfolded. Though th

As a matter of fact, bicycles are one of the oldest and most refined technologies available to us. Bicycles can hardly be considered an old technology. While Da Vinci had already sketched some designs in the late 15th century [1], the fir

Still, this leaves you wondering how someone with such little knowledge of even the most basic Linux commands could ssh in there in the first place. Any idea ?

This is the kind of message that reminds me that HN is not eternal. That one day, it will be remembered as a precious community, surprising in the quality of its members and the stability of its standards. A sort of modest, modern day digit

Amanda Hocking is probably the best example right now of an author who made it big through ebooks without having been published traditionally first. She does have a blog [1] and promotes herself quite heavily through social networks, but sh

When you're writing a game engine, your main concern is performance. Not using the built-in javascript sqrt() and rolling out your own would be woefully inefficient. That question would have made more sense for an engine in C, building your

I have been doing this for a year with a Linode small instance and it works like a charm - although I only use it through a Putty terminal. I had initially set it up to code small ruby scripts remotely that help me with my day job (mostly t

I would also add to that list the Emotiv kit ( http://www.emotiv.com ), which allows "to create applications that can be controlled by your mind" by making use of the same type of technology that allows paralytics to control robotic arms. A

This reminds me that even us twenty-somethings may one day be made every bit as clumsy and baffled by whatever comes up 30 years from now as our own proverbial mothers are today...

The irony being of course that the critics themselves should start by reading a f *ing English grammar book and learn to capitalize the beginning of their sentences.

There is also GBATEK, from the no$gba emulator. It provides a full description of the memory map, interrupts, IO ports and rom layout for GB, GBA and now even the DS. http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm The CPU instruction sets can be obt

It's surprising that it comes out of the blue like this. Had there been any rumor of a coming acquisition in the past few weeks?

When my iPhone runs the iPod app, it almost physically becomes an iPod. In a sense, the tablet format is more than just a software or hardware platform. It's more akin to a new kind of material - one that you can mold at will, through sof

The comparison does not really hold: you would be hard pressed to find a single first point of contact between Goths and the Roman Empire or Mongolians and China. In both cases, fighting had been going on for centuries before the empires we

Given that most of the article is made of highlights from 10 scientific articles published in such high profile reviews as Nature, Science, or Nature Geoscience, I do not think you can reduce it to "political advocacy" from a "hysterical we

Puppy Linux is a good choice for a very lightweight distro. The latest release only weighs 130 MB and there is a large choice of distributions (puplets) including one specifically tailored to netbooks (Puppeee).

They mention between "600 and 800 million ad impressions a month", 60% of which "for third-party mobile ads". Using a 700 million average, that's 420 million impressions used for third party ads, which generated $500,000 in revues. This amo

If by not confusing you mean not ambiguous, then that's rarely the case in Japanese, which is a very context-sensitive language. The original Japanese text is probably not at fault here.
